+Born2Run GeoCaching Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Do any of the new Nuvi products support tourguide? It has been great over the years... Or is there new technology I should be using for PQ's after downloading them. Hurry I leave for AZ in a few weeks! Larry Quote Link to comment
alandb Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Are you asking about the radius alerts on custom POI files? These are implimented by having "TourGuide" as part of the POI source file name when you run POI Loader. As far as I know this is supported on all nuvi's.

+BAMBOOZLE Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I picked Nuvi 780's on Ebay ($40 or so ).......I load caches on them as favorites and auto-route to them. Quote Link to comment

+RavenMaster & Uindinha Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Depends on what u need. I have a Dezl 760 cause I'm crazy but recently bought a Nuvi 50 to my dad, it's perfect for him (52 wasn't on the market yet). Cheap, LifeTime Maps, all the basic functions and it has tourguide. If you want a more robust device with even more specs, look at the 2597 or the 52. If 42/52 if enough for you, go for it. Just keep in mind, as always, that 2597 will have stuff that 52 doesn't, like Real Directions (turn right after Starbucks). If price is not a problem, go for the 3597! Visit some stores. Has i said, i closed a great deal with a Nuvi 50 when 52 was about to be launched and saved my dad some money. The 50 does what he wants, go from A to B Maybe you can find a 2012 model a lot cheaper... I believe i haven't seen a Nuvi that Nuvi_GPX_by_CT macro doesn't activate Tourguide with just one click, with the bonus of loading spoiler pictures, if you'd like.

+RavenMaster & Uindinha Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It takes some time but once it's set up, it's a one click operation and you'll have: - full page (without pictures) - latest xx logs - spoilers photos - additional waypoints Quote Link to comment
